| Johnson | Carpenter |
| 7-5, 4.68 | 5-2, 1.78 |
Who knows what unknown defensive proclivities lurk in the heart of men? La Russa knows. I haven't done the research, but I can't imagine there have been many other seasons in which players with the collective experience in the infield of DeRosa and Thurston have been configured in this way.
Speaking of which: Schumaker UZR update: the stat has got to admit he's getting better, and now not just because he can't get no worse. His UZR/150, which was -19.9 when last we checked, is now -15.8, bringing him within three runs of Dan Uggla in his quest to be second-worst. More impressively, his actual UZR is down from -8.2 to -7.6.
I've come to the conclusion that it would probably be for the best if I stopped watching UZR in-season—that it is, as even its creator cautioned, not fit to judge such small sample sizes. But I can't stop.

Lineup
Tyler gets first start at 2B and thurston in LF, LaRussa’s at it again

Thurston in left
puzzles me. Not only am I confused as to why TLR didn’t put DeRo in left, but I also have a feeling that Thursty will be like Duncan in LF.

he stinks on so many different levels
I mean he has been ok defensively as far as range I think? but he makes so many errors and his baserunning is atrocious and for a guy who is supposed to have speed he steals no bases

he's defensively solid at second base
but hardly ever plays there. and outside of Albert, he’s actually one of our better hitters. he just doesn’t baserun that well.

Nyjer Morgan is supposedly the young Juan Pierre, which has caused everyone to forget that he’s almost 29.
by mojowo11 on Jun 30, 2009 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
weird trade
Hanrahan and Milledge could both still work out to be pretty good players, but Nyjer seems to be something of a proven entity. Or at least against the Cards. I really hope the Nats looked at his numbers against every team but STL before making that deal. At least the Nats now have a real top of the order now, but I liked Hanrahan.

There isn't any help to be had in the minors for the outfield right now.
I don’t think Robinson or Stavinoha are major league players yet. Robinson may be a +1 kind of player in a couple years but he’s nothing more than a 5th outfielder for me. Stav tops out at AAA, imo.
Jay is in a fierce funk in the minors right now. He’s a good defender but 1) he’s left handed and 2) he couldn’t hit his way out of a paper bag right now. There’s no way he should be in the majors right now.
I still think Allen Craig should have been called up to play 3rd base or the outfield against left handers but he’s on the DL and his hitting has been mediocre at best of late (could be injury related).

I keep trying to scout Wallace
but Memphis is lazy in uploading their video — nothing from June yet.
I don’t think Wallace is ready with the bat yet personally — but again, I haven’t seen good video of him from the last month. And if Allen Craig isn’t a third baseman, I don’t understand how they think Wallace sticks there. I’m routinely more pessimistic on Wallace than other evaluators though, FWIW.

Wow is right. I never would expect this score with Carp on the mound.
Nice to see Derosa solved our problem at 3B but it seems now Tony moved our problem to LF.

We suck against Lefties. So Tony puts a left handed hitter in LF that is an infielder.
I am convince it is his way of protesting the lack of talent at a postion. If we can trade for a LF(hopefully Holliday as long as it doesn’t cost us Wallace) then the next place I expect Thurston to show up would be the mound.
